- tools/wfe_psd.py: Quick PSD computation for WFE surfaces
- optimization_engine/insights/wfe_psd.py: Full PSD module with band
decomposition (LSF/MSF/HSF), radial averaging, Hann windowing,
and visualization support
- knowledge_base/lac/session_insights/stopp_command_20260129.jsonl:
Session insight from stopp command implementation
PSD analysis decomposes WFE into spatial frequency bands per Tony Hull's
JWST methodology. Used for CDR V7 to validate that MSF (support
print-through) dominates the residual WFE at 85-89% of total RMS.
Major improvements to Zernike WFE visualization:
- Add ZernikeDashboardInsight: Unified dashboard with all orientations (40°, 60°, 90°)
on one page with light theme and executive summary
- Add OPD method toggle: Switch between Standard (Z-only) and OPD (X,Y,Z) methods
in ZernikeWFEInsight with interactive buttons
- Add lateral displacement maps: Visualize X,Y displacement for each orientation
- Add displacement component views: Toggle between WFE, ΔX, ΔY, ΔZ in relative views
- Add metrics comparison table showing both methods side-by-side
New extractors:
- extract_zernike_figure.py: ZernikeOPDExtractor using BDF geometry interpolation
- extract_zernike_opd.py: Parabola-based OPD with focal length
Key finding: OPD method gives 8-11% higher WFE values than Standard method
(more conservative/accurate for surfaces with lateral displacement under gravity)
Documentation updates:
- SYS_12: Added E22 ZernikeOPD as recommended method
- SYS_16: Added ZernikeDashboard, updated ZernikeWFE with OPD features
- Cheatsheet: Added Zernike method comparison table
